Re: What did you use your flashlight for today?

Last night as we were getting ready for bed, my wife asked me for my flashlight. I keep my SWM V10R Anniversary Edition by me bed at night for it's low low, but my wife also has warm white Xeno E03 on her side for her own night time use. She was already in bed and said she couldn't reach hers, so I handed her the V10R AE. She turns it on, then I see it seem to go on and off as shadows jump around wildly, and I hear a thumping sound. She then turns it off and hands it back to me. I ask her what was up, she said the saw a bug on the floor and used my flashlight to kill it.

I've been keeping my 4Seven's 123 MiniX in my top pants pocket since I got it last week and luckily I had it because it helped me find my car keys in my trash can this morning (truly the last place I looked after two hours).

Re: What did you use your flashlight for today?

Used my PC100C2 to look in our tractor trailer we use at work to move product between different buildings for a part that didn't end up were it was supposed to. Thought it may have fell off the skid in the trailer. The dock light doesn't provide very much illumination. The EagleTac lit up the trailer floor like no tomorrow. Turns out the part was still hanging in our paint department...someone forgot to ship it. Got to use my light so I didn't care.

I have to get up early nowadays for my current job assignment (as a consultant this changes now and then). I used my Olight i3 on low this morning to get my clothes and other stuff from the bedroom closet whilst my girlfriend was still sleeping. It makes me appreciate the low-low on some of my lights even more.

Re: What did you use your flashlight for today?

I walked my dog with my Quark AA last night.

Turned it down to moonlight so Ollie could make a "deposit" on my neighbor's lawn without being noticed (I pick up anyways). Funny how they like to go in the same spot all the time. On the way back, I heard some rustling in the woods so I tightened the bezel down and see 4 sets of eyes, lit-up like reflectors, staring back at me. I start running in place, stamping my feet, and they scatter. Fracking deer... I hate deer. Always want to let Ollie loose after them, but I know that'll mean one long clean-up job.

Re: What did you use your flashlight for today?

I have twin 3.5 year olds, who are just getting over colds. Nights have been rough to say the least. Ever since they were born I have been using flashlights to help tend to them, rather than using hall and room lights. Before I heard of this forum and obsession, I used a Coast flashlight that I purchase specifically for its red LED ( along with white ones ) so that I wouldn't ruin my night vision when stumbling back to bed. I still have that light... my wife uses it now. I use my LD10 with a red filter to do that same duty, and used it as recently as last night.

Re: What did you use your flashlight for today?

Yeah, I will eventually. However I have a rechargeable AA in the light and I use it on medium power with the filter. I am not concerned about wasted power, and the filter stays nice and snug there, all the time.

Re: What did you use your flashlight for today?

I had to cross a busy four lane street where there was no traffic light or anything to stop or alert drivers of the crosswalk except for a little sign. I used my Preon 2 on 160 lumen strobe to show drivers where I was and the slowed and stopped so I could cross. Made me feel much safer
